By  Robert  Lamb— 51st  Georgia  Vols. 
^^^ 

Rally  round  your  country's  flag  ye  freemen  of  tbe  Soutb, 

Gird  on  your  armor  for  tbe  fray,  go  ye  to  battle  fortb  ; 

Your  watchword  and  your  war  cry  "  Deatb  before  dishonor," 

Wipe  out  the  tyrant's  blot,  and  defend  your  country's  banner. 

A  million  hearts  are  beating  now,  a  million  prayers  ascend, 
That   God    would   bless  our  country,    fair  freedom's  cause 

defend, 
From  o'er  the  stormy  water,  from  the  tyrant's  dear  domain,1 
Where  the  heart  of  stern  oppression,  all  the  rights  of  »ian 

disdain. 

The  cry  conies  rolling  onward,  may  God  preserve  the  right; 
Forbid  that  freedom's  sun  shall  set  in  dark  oblivion's  night, 
;  Inspire  the  sons  of  freedom  fair,  give  victory  to  their  arms: 
May  they  defend  our  star  of  hope,  their  land  from  throat'uing 
harm. 

Then  go  forth,  yc  soldiers  brave,  fight  valiant  for  your  cause,1 
Defending  'gainst  a   treacherous  foe,  your  land  and  all  its 

laws; 
Prove  to  the  world  that  freemen  bold  can  act  a  noble  part, 
By  hurling  back,  with  all  your  force,  the  tyrant's  poisonous 

dart. 

From  the  mountains  of  Old  Maryland  to  Florida's  swampy 

plains, 
From  the  Atlantic's  rolling  waves  to  Pacific's  fair  domains, 
Determine  that  our  flag  shall  wave,  the  red,  white  and  red  ; 
The  ensign  of  our  liberty,  which  Yankees  hate  and  dread. 

1 
Beneath  the  soil  now  lieth  bones,  of  those  who  long  ago, 

Maintained  our  honor  'gainst  the  land  of  our  then  oppressive 

foe; 

Prove  to  the  world  their  noble  blood  flows  freely  in  your  veins 

By  wiping  out,  forever  out,  the  tyrant's  dismal  stains.
